GMM Habitat joins with many of our partner families in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, which is observed annually from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. The month recognizes the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. Some 52 percent of GMM Habitat homeowners identify as Hispanic. This includes new homeowner and mother of two Jacqueline, who came to the United States from Colombia in 1991 to complete her college degree and learn a new language and culture. She and her two daughters, ages 13 and 25, recently moved into the Crossings at Bennett Avenue in Randolph. “Jacqueline said she and her daughters are grateful for the education and work opportunities in the U.S. They also appreciate “the resources for those who are in need, and the protection of children all around,” her daughter, Leslie, 25, said.

New Jersey is still the 7th most-expensive housing market in the U.S., and affordable rentals are unattainable for more than 4 million workers in the state, according to the latest “Out of Reach” national report from the National Low-Income Housing Coalition. Fourteen of the 20 most common occupations in New Jersey pay median wages that are lower than the one- and two-bedroom "Housing Wages" (what you need to earn to rent an apartment and not pay more than 30% of your monthly income).
